In early 20th-century New York City, banking tycoon J. P. Morgan hires Belle da Costa Greene to curate his newly built Pierpont Morgan Library. With such a prestigious position, Belle rises in the ranks of the city’s elite art and literary circles. But all that could disappear if Belle’s true identity is revealed: she’s actually a Black woman forced to hide her heritage and pass as white. The Personal Librarian explores themes of ambition, identity, and resilience, revealing the extraordinary sacrifices Belle makes to protect her secret and achieve greatness.
